Martin Luther on Education

“If I could leave the preaching office and my other duties, or had to do so, there is no other office I would rather have than that of schoolmaster or teacher ... for I know that next to that of preaching, this is the best, greatest, and most useful office there is ... It surely has to be one of the supreme virtues on earth faithfully to train other people’s children....” ~ From Martin Luther on Education (thanks Jerng for the link)

I've been telling people if I'm not a pastor, apart from the secret ambition to be a movie director (now no secret!), I would have enjoyed being a teacher or lecturer of some sort (at least in high school or college/university level).
